An after-market crossbar designed for the rear bed of a pickup truck to support equipment and sports gear, freeing the tailgate from being used as support. This lightweight crossbar requires no tools for assembly and easily installs into the pre-existing rear stake holes of pickup trucks. It reclaims the functionality of the tailgate, allowing it to open and close while providing access to the truck bed and its contents. By transferring the weight of the gear off the tailgate and onto the support rack, this invention offers a convenient, cost-effective alternative to existing rack systems. The primary use is to support the load, allowing the tailgate to move freely while carrying gear in the truck bed.
